Deluxe Chocolate Phones

LG's style-oriented Chocolate phone has only been available for under a month, but the company is already set to deliver variants on the design before the end of the year. One of these is a deluxe version which upgrades both the appearance and the hardware itself. A gold or platinum paint scheme (pictured here in a conceptual image) will be accompanied by a 2 megapixel camera (up from 1.3) and 256MB of built-in storage alongside the MicroSD slot. There should also be a 3G version ready to connect to services such as EVDO, though it will grow in size to make this possible.
